NGC 7020 is a barred lenticular galaxy located about 140 million light-years away in the constellation Pavo.

[3][4] NGC 7020 was discovered by astronomer John Herschel on August 31, 1836.

The large outer ring is completely detached from the inner hexagonal zone of the galaxy and is dominated by numerous flocculent spiral features.

The ring is knotty and bluer than the rest of the galaxy and shows where recent star formation is occurring in NGC 7020.

The possible inner ring shows protruding features at the ends of its major axis therefore classifying it as a bar.
